B. Jesus Delivers a Demon-Possessed Gadarene

Notes: As the boat carrying the apostles and Jesus arrived on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus encountered this Gadarene man, delivered him of his demon possession.

Questions/Observations: There is a perceived contradiction between Mark's geographic reference (the country of the Gadarenes) and that of Matthew (country of the Gergesenes). Can you propose a way to reconcile these accounts?
